Geocache Description:

​La cache qui venait d'ailleurs...

The cache that fell to earth...


Le 18 novembre 2008, pendant qu'elle effectuait des petits travaux d'entretien sur la Station Spatial Internationale, l'astronaute Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper a laissé "tomber" une trousse d'outils.  Gloups (a-t-elle probablement dit).  Quelques kilogrammes d'acier en collision avec ton satellite, ça risque de faire mal.  Heureusement, après avoir orbité autour de la Terre pendant plus de sept ans, cette trousse est finalement tombée à cet endroit il y a quelques semaines.  On ignore encore si elle avait laissé ses tartines dedans ; si oui, merci de faire un petit "Trash Out.​"

On 18 November 2008, while performing maintenance on the International Space Station, astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper "lost" a bag of tools.  "Oops!", she said (or something like that, anyway).  If your satellite runs into a couple of kilograms of fast-moving steel, that's going to hurt.  Fortunately, after orbiting the Earth for more than seven years, the bag finally fell in this location a few weeks ago.  It's not clear whether Heidemarie ​had left her sandwiches inside, so if you find them, please "trash them out" to keep the cache compatible with the guidelines.
